Lyrics:

Tell me now--where your heart is resting;
Tell me now - - where do you belong?
Do you know...Who really loves you?
Are you tired of standing on your own?

Well I know of a place where you're accepted,
Where the parents tell their children what is true.
Follow me to a home beside the river:
In the rocky, arid desert He's waiting for you.

Tell me now--do you know who God is?
Do you think He's an old man, full of hate?
Or is He political, a narrow-minded bigot,
Who gets His jollies out of making people wait?

Well, let me tell you the truth: He's a servant, He is humble,
Reaching out to you with a hand of flesh like your own.
He will pick you up and forgive you when you stumble.
He will never give up--He's gonna keep on leading you Home.

Well, let me tell you the truth: He's a servant, He is humble,
Reaching out to you with a hand of flesh like your own.
He will pick you up and forgive you when you stumble.
He will never give up--He's gonna keep on leading you Home.

Tell Me Now

Good things : Great arrangement. This is how good your songs can sound when you put them together with guitar, drum set, added percussion. I love the overall sound of the verse and chorus even before I listen to a single word. The song flows well between the questions and answers that you present. Great work. I like the biblical paraphrasing of "I tell you the truth".

Things to work on : Consider adding vocal harmony. "Gets his jollies" has bad connotations.

Other than that nearly perfect.

Grace and peace, Derek
